Reading Depot

We invested over £3million in new access platform hire equipment at our Reading depot to serve the M3/M4 corridor in the Bracknell and Reading area. With MEWP hire equipment from major manufacturers Skyjack, Niftylift and Power Towers, we provide the highest quality service to our customers in Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. We are proud to have one of the largest access platform equipment selection for hire in the country.

Scissor Lift & Cherry Picker Hire in Berkshire

Our wide range of equipment allows us to meet all Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) needs. For instance, our cherry pickers for hire in Reading are ideally suited for people who need up, out and over capabilities for difficult to reach locations. We also offer scissor lifts for hire, which are better suited to smaller spaces and tasks that solely require a vertical access platform.

IPAF Training in Berkshire

Finally, our Reading depot is renowned across the region, from Surrey to Oxford, for its professional IPAF training. Star Platforms is a fully accredited MEWP training centre and our Reading depot offers courses for people looking to gain the internationally recognised Powered Access Licence (PAL) Card.

The Reading and Berkshire Team

Opened in November 2017, our Reading & Berkshire depot has grown quicker than anticipated in part due to the fantastic team we have on board. With a mixture of key industry experience, and fresh and creative ideas, the team at our Reading & Berkshire depot have done a fantastic job growing our customer base and delivering a fantastic level of service every time.

Due to the ambitious nature of the team we can offer IPAF Training on Saturday’s at our Reading depot, after foreman Craig Brown furthered his training and became a certified instructor. It’s from this drive and desire for learning that we’ve been able to grow as quickly as we have, and we owe that all to our wonderful team.
